Suppose you're a connoisseur of fi****ms; you accessorize them and hunt game with them. Or just love the outdoors while hunting with fi****ms. SHOT (SHOOTING, HUNTING, OUTDOOR, TRADE SHOW) will scratch that itch. It is the world's largest gathering of shooting industry professionals from the four corners of the world. The four-day SHOT Show is held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, and is sponsored by the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation). It is an invitation-only industry event. I am a media member of the NSSF, and as such, I'm invited each year. I am also invited to a specific event, Industry Day at The Range, on the Monday before the show starts. It allows me to examine and shoot all the new fi****ms for the new year. Being a fi****ms enthusiast and collector, this day, at least for me, is the highlight of the show. Having completed sixteen years in the industry, I have observed significant transformations, particularly in technological advancements. And each year, I look forward to the next show, to see what new fi****ms innovations will be engineered.

META is shutting down my page because it's fi****ms-related. Here is my answer to them.

If Meta or Facebook weren't owned and run by a left-wing moron who hates America, there would be a need for a discussion about my page. But since it is, you get to make the rules. Throughout history, your kind has made the rules to be one-sided, and the little people have to bend a knee to your tyranny. I swore an oath to defend and serve this nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic (that you), and i will not be swayed from that mission. We need everyone on Facebook to shut down their accounts. You do not control us; you are a tyrannical machine that dictates your will upon others. But your time will come when people realize they have choice and free will.

For those of you who have heard the rumor that G***k is going out of business or stopping production of their handguns, here's the truth. They are only stopping production of current models to be replaced by those that cannot be equipped with aftermarket devices that allow them to be fired in full auto. Below is the link to the article.

Why is G***k is discontinuing production of most of their legacy models and replacing them with G***k Gen V pistols? Read our blog to find out!

Fifth Circuit's Reversal and Remanding of Federal Handgun Ban for Certain Adults

On January 30th, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled unanimously that the federal ban on the sale of fi****ms to adults 18, 19, and 20 years old is unconstitutional. Because the Fifth Circuit reversed a lower court's ruling and remanded the decision back to the lower court, the decision is not yet final. Likewise, the government may appeal the verdict and seek a stay. Therefore, we would recommend that FFLs in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi do not sell handguns to adults under the age of 21 until the case has been resolved to final judgment. NSSF® will update our members as the matter develops.

This is the second shooting on Phoenix highways; the first was on I-10 West, and this one was on 60 West. i passed this one going to work today. I can't help but feel this may be related to all these illegal border crossings, many of which are suspected to be gangs from other countries, as well as prisoners and the mentally ill. Thanks, Joe!

A male driver was shot while traveling westbound on U.S. 60 between Power and Higley roads.

Eliphalet Re*****on founded E. Re*****on and Sons in 1816 in Ilion, New York, and until now, it was one of the oldest gun makers in the US. But it is no more, and if you want to start a fi****ms manufacturing company, here's your chance! And If you've always wanted an Iconic Re*****on 870, well, you can still find one, but you'll pay a little more for it now.
